I'm glad people like the show. For me any show where I don't really like any characters goes down a few pegs, and this is one. I don't hate these people but everybody is so emotionally distant in this show it's hard to get super invested. It is still good though.

I always loved their "The Onion Looks Back At 'It's A Wonderful Life' "

Maybe she was saying it as foreplay, the Gipper seems to have that effect on people on this show.

Would Lucia even die after that length of choke hold? TV/Film has been really inconsistent about oxygen deprivation and death. After a certain movie had a character be revived like 4 minutes after drowning I googled how long you can go without oxygen and not get brain damage and it was like 5 minutes so then what…

I wonder if this whole intellivision plotline is building to a huge reveal in the final season when the kid gets a gameboy and Phillip plays Tetris on it, turns to the camera, and says "now this… I like". Cut to credits.

Clearly we need to take an inventory of "erotic merit" of every shot in the show and develop some kind of gold standard unit and then measure in detail the erotic economy of the show and make sure it is universally equal in all measure. This is what is important.

It's funny but I continue to wish this show had less sex stuff. Because I find sex so narratively boring (particularly compared to spycraft). But wishing "The Americans" didn't have sex scenes is like wishing Mr. Rogers didn't go to the land of make believe.

Yeah, this has been bugging me, particularly the couple times when somebody has casually yanked it off. Like if it's not damn snug they would have problems way more often.

"There are going to be plenty of people who read this scene as a rape…"
"What’s fascinating to me here is how both of them are actually at fault—Elizabeth for pushing Philip to cross this line, and Philip for actually crossing it."

Pretty sure the episode just showed that he stole 8 dollars. From that you can probably get that it wasn't the only time but it's still a big leap from that to 14k.

I personally thought P$$T was a modern thing, am I wrong?

And how competently can you act, Huell?
Huell: Reasonably

I agree. I much prefer (and expect) it to just be a medical condition. He is acting with some "shakiness" and so I'm guessing he's in the early stages of some neurological or muscular disorder.

I don't see it as a sexist thing at all. I think it was more about her being more comfortable "knowing" what she wants career wise and not thinking about why (or if) she wants those things.

Was this the first Jimmy flashback where Jimmy wasn't played by Odenkirk? Also why not? Bob can totally pull off a convincing 14 years old.

Vaguely reminded me of Colin Hanks.

We all agree that is such a BS dichotomy, right? "I'm no sheep" =/= justification to be a selfish asshole.

Right. That's the thing for me. I'd buy he'd "take little bits", and even "take little bits often" but to get to 14k he'd have to either take big bits that don't seem in character for him or take like 10 dollars every day for like 5 years.
